One thousand guan a month, this was the price that Gao Shilian had calculated before he came.
With this price, several industries of Duke Xu's Mansion will stand out from Chang'an City.
It won't take long before you can earn back your advertising costs and make even more money.
But now, the price has become 2,000 guan a month.
In this way, he was not sure whether he could still make money.
He was silent for a while and then smiled: "My dear nephew, you are really good at joking... I said that we are close friends. By the way, what did you just say?"
Du He also smiled and said: "Master Gao, you just said that you would spend money to advertise on the remaining seven lines. Two thousand guan per month, this is a fixed price. Even if the king of heaven comes, I will not
Change."
Gao Shilian's eyes suddenly widened: "What? Did I say this?"
"That's right!"
"Impossible," Gao Shilian suddenly stood up excitedly, "Du He, don't play tricks on me. Although I am old, I will not say such things. Besides, we are close friends. You
How could you agree to such an unreasonable request? Haha, my nephew, you are really good at joking. If I hadn’t been sober, I would have been fooled by you. Your joke is not funny at all. My nephew, I
I came here specifically to visit you today, if nothing happens, I will take my leave!"
With that said, Gao Shilian stood up and walked out, unwilling to stay any longer.
Are you kidding me? There are nine lines in total. The advertising fee of 2,000 guan per month is nearly 20,000 guan per month. Although Duke Xu's family is wealthy, it is not such a wasteful method.
Du He stood there and sneered.
Ma Zhou stood aside and asked, "Master, are you really letting him leave like this? Isn't it giving him an advantage?"
Du He smiled faintly and said: "Old Ma, he will come back without leaving a stick of incense!"
"real?"
Ma Zhou showed a surprised look.
He used to be an official in the same dynasty as Gao Shilian, and he had always respected Gao Shilian and even admired Gao Shilian's conduct.
But today, I finally saw Gao Shilian's shamelessness.
…
Gao Shilian hurriedly walked out, just wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.
Today, it is really embarrassing.
As soon as he got on the carriage, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a carriage appearing next to him.
There is something familiar about this carriage.
Think about it carefully, isn't this the carriage of Sikong Mansion?
Then, he saw Changsun rushing down.
Gao Shilian frowned!
not good!
He jumped off the carriage, stopped in front of Changsun Chong, and asked, "Chong'er, why are you here?"
Changsun Chong was startled, and when he saw it was Gao Shilian, he said: "It turns out to be my great-uncle, I wonder who it is, it's nothing, I'll just come over and take a look!"
Gao Shilian approached Changsun Chong and asked in a low voice: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me. Are you here to discuss advertising with Du He?"
Changsun Chong nodded: "Uncle and grandpa, I really can't hide anything from you!"
"Did you know that Du He has already raised the price from one thousand guan a month to 2,000 guan a month," Gao Shilian said.
Changsun Chong thought for a while and said with a smile: "Uncle and grandpa, you don't have to worry about this. My father has already told me that when I go to Chang'an Bus Company today, no matter what price Du He gives me, Sikong Mansion will accompany me!"
Now, it has long been spread among private people.
Xuanyuan Residence spent a thousand dollars to advertise for a month.
In just ten days, I made more than two thousand dollars.
Advertising fees have long been paid back.
Sikong Mansion had already calculated that it would make a lot of money just by advertising a public carriage line.
Two thousand guan is nothing.
Gao Shilian's eyes jumped, then he turned around and ran to Chang'an Bus Company.
"Oh, great uncle, what are you doing?" The eldest grandson was shocked when he saw him, and hurriedly chased after him.
…
In the yard.
Du He was discussing something with Ma Zhou while drinking tea.
Suddenly, a figure rushed in, rushed to the table, grabbed the pen on the table, and signed a cooperation agreement.
"Du He, this is a newly signed cooperation agreement between you and me. The cooperation period is six months. This time, I want a three-way carriage." Gao Shilian's voice sounded.
Only then did Du He and Ma Zhou see clearly that the dark figure was none other than Gao Shilian, who had gone and returned.
Gao Shilian stroked his beard very pretentiously.
When Changsun Chong walked in, he walked out slowly.
Next, not only Sikong Mansion, but also many people came to Chang'an Bus Company to discuss cooperation with Du He.
In less than two hours, the advertising space for Chang'an Bus Company's nine lines and the cooperation within half a year were all finalized.
…
Morning the next day.
Li Er originally thought that Gao Shilian would be so ashamed that he would not dare to come to the morning court.
Unexpectedly, not only did Gao Shilian come, but he also had a straight waist and a rosy complexion, as if there was a happy event in his family.
Li Er asked curiously: "Gao Aiqing, I heard that Xuanyuan Residence is the property of Duke Xu. Now, it is spread all over Chang'an City that the food at Xuanyuan Residence is the same as what I eat every day. This matter
,do you know?"
"Hahaha……"
In the main hall, there was another round of mocking laughter.
But everyone was surprised to find that Gao Shilian was not as embarrassed and at a loss as he was yesterday.
Instead, he was very proud and said: "Your Majesty, I have known about this matter for a long time. However, I am also a victim. I spent a thousand dollars to advertise on Du He's carriage. I never thought that Du He
It is so publicized, your Majesty, please keep a close eye on this matter!"
"Oh?" Li Er said in surprise, "Gao Qing's family, did you really spend a thousand dollars on advertising?"
Li Er and Gao Shilian were not only monarchs and ministers, but also good friends. He knew very well that Gao Shilian was very stingy.
Nowadays, people are willing to spend a thousand yuan on advertising. It’s really strange!
After all, advertising has just appeared, and even Li Er has not yet fully accepted it.
Gao Shilian said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, one thousand guan, but yesterday, I cooperated with Du He again. This time, I spent more than 10,000 guan, and still advertised."
More than 10,000 strings?
Is Gao Shilian crazy?
Many people don't understand.
Only Changsun Wuji folded his hands and sneered.
A group of shallow people, do you really know the effect of this advertisement?
A few days later, when someone grasped the truth, it was too late.
…
Hu County.
The joint is bustling.
It was nearly half a year after the enclosure movement.
At the beginning, the gentry in Hu County thought that after the gentry and merchants were forced to leave, Hu County would become an empty city.
But the reality is that instead of becoming an empty city, Hu County is becoming more and more prosperous, with more and more people coming here to do business and trade.
In just a few months, the county seat of Hu County expanded three times, fully doubling its previous size.
At this time, the advantage of Hu County not having a city wall became apparent.
If there is a city wall, it will definitely be very troublesome to expand.
Without city walls, there would be no pressure of confinement.
The prosperity of Hu County is inseparable from the emergence of the Taxation Bureau.
In the past, when doing business in Chang'an or other places, merchants had to endure heavy taxes, and even had to spend a lot of money to bribe the officials who managed the cities. The most obvious one was the East and West Second Market in Chang'an City. Any small official would
There is very considerable income every year.
In Hu County, there is no concept of a designated market. Business can be done anywhere, and all taxes are transparent. Small businesses do not need to pay taxes at all. As for reaching a certain level, they only need to make money every month.
How much commission will be used to pay taxes?
Anhu Avenue closely connects Hu County and Chang'an City.
More and more people are willing to come here to do business.
Most of the first batch of people who came to Hu County to do business were tricked by Du He.
Later, the second batch and the third batch were all done willingly.
The county seat of Huxian County is lively and prosperous, surpassing the capital of a state.
At dusk.
A little girl was wandering down the street.
This little girl is wearing a pink dress, with pigtails, and a pink face, as if carved from pink.
She didn't have any guards around her, but when people around her saw her, they all treated her with great respect.
Behind her, there was a very fierce brown bear that was as tall as a person.
This little girl is none other than Du Jinwei.
"It's Princess Jinyang!"
"Wow, it's the princess!"
"The princess is so beautiful!"
Du Jinwei clasped her hands behind her back, like a little adult, as if patrolling.
Many people greeted her one after another.
She just smiled in response.
The brown bear Ah Huang seemed to understand human nature and smiled broadly at everyone.
But when it smiled, it scared many people away.
Du Jinwei was also very helpless.
She kept walking forward.
Suddenly, she heard a noise in front of her.
A group of people gathered together, not knowing what they were doing.
Du Jinwei was bored, and just when she was feeling bored, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she ran over excitedly and pushed through the crowd.
In the middle of the scattered crowd, there was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, kneeling on the ground, her head lowered, and a sign hung on her chest that read: Sell yourself to bury your father.
In front of the little girl, stood a young man in brocade clothes, probably in his early twenties.
There were several domestic slaves standing beside the young man, all of them looked arrogant.
The young man laughed and said: "Little sister, you are so pitiful that you want to sell your body to bury your father. Let's do this. When I see how pitiful you are, I will be merciful and buy you!"
The little girl immediately started kowtowing and shouted: "Thank you so much, Master, thank you so much, Master..."
Ding.
A Kaiyuan Tongbao fell in front of the little girl.
The young man said arrogantly: "You can take this penny. Now you are mine. Someone, come and take her away!"
The little girl was stunned, realized what she was doing, and cried loudly: "Sir, my father just passed away a few days ago, and he can't even buy a coffin. Master, please have mercy on me. Just give me a lot of money. Master,
Please be a good person and do it to the end!"
"What? A lot of money? Damn, you don't even look at you. You look like a crooked melon and cracked dates. You can't have more than a penny. Humph, you still dare to bargain with me. Do you believe me?
Beat you to death and let you accompany your father?" The young man was extremely arrogant.
